The Global Solid State Transformer Market is poised for substantial growth, with an estimated value of USD 0.15 billion in 2023 projected to reach USD 0.48 billion by 2030. This growth is expected to be driven by a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% during the forecast period of 2025-2030.
A solid-state transformer typically refers to the array of semiconductor components that consumes high power to offer high frequency. These devices usually have a more complex and effective circuitry that offers flexible control over the power distribution systems. Solid-state transformers are increasingly being integrated into smart grid systems and are widely used in inverter as well as in converter circuitry. It is an assembly of high power-driven semiconductor components that offer conservative high-frequency transformers and control circuitry which is used to deliver a high level of flexible control to power distribution systems.
COVID-19 has a massive impact on the power electronics industry. Numerous manufacturers observed shipment interruptions for five or more weeks from China and other countries.
The global solid-state transformer market is divided by its components into converters and switches segments. Out of these two major segmentations, the converters segment is expected to contribute a larger share of the market during the forecast period due to its widespread use as the core component in developing these transformers. Also, different formation of converters widens its applicability, improve it efficiency in power supply, and enhance its functional life.
According to the product type, the global solid-state transformer market is divided into distribution transformer, traction transformer, and power transformer segments. Out of these segments, the traction solid-state transformer segment is expected to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period due to the growing shift from traditional transformers to more efficient and innovative solid-state transformers, and the growth of traction locomotives in developing countries, higher adoption of these transformers in non-conventional power generation using renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and tidal energy.
The global solid-state transformer market is also divided by its diverse applications into substitute power generation, power distribution, electric vehicle charging stations, traction locomotives, and other segments. Out of these segments, the power distribution segment contributes the larger market share due to the higher use of these transformers for higher efficiency and technological developments in smart grid technology.
The global solid-state transformer market has different end users and is divided accordingly into energy, transportation, and other segments. Among them, the energy segment is expected to grow more during the forecast period due to the developments in the production of renewable energy and reduced costs in electricity production.
The global solid-state transformer market is also divided by different voltage levels into MV/LV and HV/MV segments, where the latter is supposed to contribute a larger share to the market and grow at a higher CAGR due to widespread adoption and use in offshore wind turbines for configuring HVDC/MVAC due to the economic benefits. On the other hand, the MV/LV segment is also expected to grow quite significantly during this period due to the rise in demand for electric vehicles all over the globe because it promotes the development of EV charging stations that need these specific types of transformers.
